Staff was good. But only 30amps available at our assigned slip even though I had requested 50amps. Docks are in great shape.

Only one shower in each restroom.

First class marina, everything is very recent, 9' water at fuel dock at low tide. WIFI good, south entrance is tight especially in current and wind. Diesel Fuel on 5-2-22 is $4.55. Ruth's Chris is at marina. 50 Amp power is good, double 50 available. H2O good. Staff very accomodating.

Nice marina but expecting better showers for this resort style marina. Women's showers - one had no pressure and the other very dirty. Deck hands were not very prompt with help. Understand there is new management.

There are floating docks, well kept and the dockhands are good. The WiFi is good and the marina is protected from wakes from the ICW by a seawall. There is a supermarket across the street for provisions and a Ruth's Chris steak restaurant on site.

We arrived expecting to pay $1.75/ft with Boat US discount as stated here and Marina is under new management and it is not honouring the discount (or any discount) and is charging $3.25/ft. It is nice but not worth that much money.

First class facility, structures like new and modern, floating docks, good 50 amp power, 11' water at "H" dock at low tide, fresh water. Ruth's Chris at Marina is a plus, dock staff could use customer service training.

Very nice docks, staff and facilities! Free laundry a bonus. Pump out not convenient, plan ahead.

Tight turns inside basin and strong current prior to entrance. Docks good, attendant not knowledgeable. Big plus, Ruth's Chris on site. Great looking facility.

Nice wide docks. Tight turn coming into the marina that is challenging with current running. Anchor cafe is currently closed. Ruth Christie’s is right at the marina. Lots of very nice areas to walk a dog and a large unfenced area to let a dog run.

Came up from Charleston for weekend getaway. Made reservations by phone a week ahead. Arrived and said they did not see our reservations but were able to accommodate us anyway. Stayed at the hotel on site, did not use any of the marina facilities while there. Overall, very nice marina.

Called to reserve with no issues. Very nice over the phone. She told us to call on the radio when we where close. We called 3 times and no answer so I called them on the phone where they came out to assist in docking. Very nice and helpful people. We paid $2 a ft. They have a grocery store within walking distance over the hill with a very nice steak restaurant just steps from the marina. They do have complimentary laundry. BUT the bathrooms were horrible, dirty and not maintained by any means also the cafe on site is pretty loud!

Free laundry was nice. We were given a slip assignment by phone, but took the next slip since there was a boat in that one (!). There's a grocery store sort of nearby, but you have to run across a divided highway. The food in the area is unremarkable.
